The cuts will take place by Jan. 15. They would cut about $2.6 million a year from the city's books.
Combined with other measures, the cuts will allow Reichert to include a pay scale for police, fire and general city employees in next year's budget. That would give some employees raises, as well as a clear expectations of salary increases in the future. That issue is been seen as crucial to keeping police officers on the job.
